Geobasiertes Learning Management am Beispiel MathCityMap
No full textDas Smartphone war die dominante Technologie dervergangenen Dekade. Keine andere technische Erfindung hat sich so schnell verbreitet und dabei gleichzeitig so sehr unser Leben verändert. Heute besitzen mehr Menschen ein Smartphone als Zugang zu sauberem Trinkwasser. Das führt dazu, dass Lernen überall und zu jeder Zeit stattfinden kann. Das Learning Management der nächsten Generation sollte das berücksichtigen und die Potentiale mobiler Endgeräte besser ausschöpfen. Das Learning Management der Zukunft sollte Elemente wie Gamification (sorgt für zusätzliche Motivation), Trusted Learning Analytics (zur sicheren Überwachung des Lernprozesses) und Authoring Tools (helfen Lehrenden, qualitativ hochwertige Inhalte in kürzerer Zeit und mit weniger Aufwand zu erstellen) beinhalten. Der wichtigste Punkt in der Entwicklung zukünftiger Learning Management Systeme wird aber in der Verknüpfung von Standort und Aufgaben liegen. Aus lernpsychologischer Sicht sollten Learning Management Systeme moderate konstruktivistische Lernumgebungen ermöglichen. All diese Aspekte werden in Ansätzen auf der Plattform MathCityMap umgesetzt. Aus den Praxisbeispielen lassen sich Erkenntnisse ableiten, wo Dinge gut funktioniert haben und worauf man bei der Umsetzung achten sollte..Mobile devices, especially smartphones, dominated the last decade and changed our lives more than most other inventions after World War II. Today, more people own a smartphone than having access to clean drinking water. Next-generation learning management needs to focus and make better use of mobile devices’ potential. Learning happens everywhere.
The learning management of the future should include elements such as gamification (provides additional motivation), trusted learning analytics (for secure learning process monitoring) and authoring tools (helping teachers to create high-quality content in less time and with less effort). And maybe the most crucial point in the development of future Learning Management Systems will be the connection between location and tasks.
From the perspective of learning psychology, Learning Management Systems should enable moderate constructivist learning environments. All these aspects are implemented in approaches on the platform MathCityMap
Was muss ein modernes Lernmanagementsystem bieten, um Lernen im Flow zu fördern?
No full textIm Rahmen des Lehrpojekts „Lernen im Flow – Betriebswirtschaft anders Lehren“ wurde versucht, die Voraussetzungen und Kennzeichen von Flow nach Nakamura und Csikszentmihalyi (2014) bei der Gestaltung eines Lernmoduls zum Thema Prozessmanagement zu berücksichtigen. Erste Evaluationsergebnisse bei Erstsemestern des Studiengangs „Software Engineering“ lassen vermuten, dass die Berücksichtigung verschiedener Lernwege und der Einsatz von Gamification Elementen eine positive Wirkung auf das Erleben von Flow bei Studierenden hat. Aufgrund der Erfahrungen aus dem Projekt leiten sich weitere Anforderungen an ein modernes Lernmanagementsystem ab, die diese Wirkung noch verstärken könnten.As part of the higher education teaching project "Learning in Flow – Teaching Business Administration Differently", an attempt was made to take into account the prerequisites and characteristics of flow according to Nakamura and Csikszentmihalyi (2014) when designing a learning module on the topic of process management. First evaluation results with first-year students of the study program "Software Engineering" suggest that the consideration of different learning paths and the use of gamification elements have a positive effect on the experience of Flow among students. Based on the experiences from the project, further requirements for a modern learning management system can be derived, which could further strengthen this effect
Report from the Next Generation Learning Management System Workshop 2020
No full textWhat should the future of Learning Management Systems look like? In August 2020, 88 participants from Austria, Germany and Switzerland approached this question from various angles at the Next Generation LMS workshop, offered jointly by CampusSource, the research focus project D2L2 at the FernUni Hagen, and ETH Zurich. We report on the contents of the workshop, its outcomes and offer preliminary postulates as a guidance for future development in the field. Learning and Course Management faces internal and external challenges: users raise a broad and deep range of expectations while an increasingly connected life stimulates competition with outside players
Concept for the realization of a GLOSA system without data connection to a traffic controller
No full textDie inhaltliche Schwerpunktlegung des Konzepts besteht in Entwurf, Planung und Durchführung eines GLOSA-Systems welches auf eine Anbindung eines LSA-Controllers verzichtet. Aufgrund dessen soll eine hohe Flexibilität des Systems bei geringen Kosten erreicht werden, sodass diese schnell und an die Gegebenheiten von Kommunen angepasst werden kann. Dies hat den Zweck, Kommunen dabei zu unterstützen ihre Ziele bzgl. der Treibhausgasminderung zu erreichen sowie den Verkehr aufgrund von reduzierten Abbrems- und Anffahrvorgängen zu verflüssigen. Zielstellung ist die Entwicklung eines prototypischen Systems mit an-schließendem Pilotbetrieb in einer Kommune Sachsen-Anhalts.The concept focuses on the design, planning and implementation of a GLOSA system that does not require the connection of a traffic light controller. Due to this, a high flexibility of the system at low costs shall be achieved, so that it can be adapted quickly and to the conditions of municipalities. The purpose of this is to support municipalities in achieving their greenhouse gas reduction goals and to liquefy traffic due to reduced braking and starting procedures. The objective is the development of a prototypical system with sub-sequent pilot operation in a municipality of Saxony-Anhalt
Verbesserung der Objekterkennung durch Selbst-Training mit synthetischen Bildern
No full textThe current era of supervised learning requires a large corpus of application-specific training data with ground-truth annotations. The creation of large annotated datasets however is a costly endeavor. Moreover, the availability of a large annotated set of training data cannot be guaranteed in certain domains. Self-training attempts to overcome these problems by using a set of labeled data and a potentially infinite pool of unlabeled data to train a model in a semi-supervised manner. Self-training however only works if the annotated data is sufficient for training a strong teacher model, which depending on the application domain, is not always available. In this work, we propose and formulate a simple extension to the self-training paradigm and refer to it as Synthetic Self-Training (SST). SST is able to overcome the aforementioned problem by incorporating synthetically generated images into the training process, therefore improving model performance. Specifically, we address the problem of object detection in a logistics environment and are able to improve the state-of-the-art detection performance on the LOCO dataset by 12% mAP0.5.Die gegenwärtige Praxis des überwachten Lernens erfordert einen umfangreichen Korpus annotierter Trainingsdaten. Die Erstellung großer annotierter Datensätze ist jedoch ein kostspieliges Unterfangen. Darüber hinaus variiert die Verfügbarkeit eines großen annotierten Trainingsdatensatzes über unterschiedliche Anwendungsbereiche. Selbsttraining versucht, diese Probleme zu überwinden, indem eine Kombination aus annotierten Daten und nicht-annotierten Daten verwendet wird, um ein Modell zu trainieren. Selbsttraining bedarf jedoch einer ausreichenden Menge annotierter Trainingsdaten, um ein starkes Lehrermodell zu trainieren. Diese Arbeit stellt das Synthetische Selbst-Training (SST) vor, eine Erweiterung des konventionellen Selbst-Trainings. SST löst zuvor genannte Problem, durch Einbeziehung synthetisch erzeugte Daten in den Trainingsprozess. Diese Arbeit formuliert SST im Bereich der Visuellen Objekterkennung und zeigt empirische dessen Vorteile. Konkret ermöglicht es SST die Erkennungsgenauigkeit logistikspezifischer Objekte im LOCO Benchmark um 12% mAP0.5 zu verbessern
Capacity of EU competition law to promote patent pools: A comparative study
No full textPatent pools have proved to offer significant efficiency to both licensors and licensees as they provide a one-stop-shop for a patents package, reduce transaction costs, and improve access to Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). The presented study examines whether, how and to what extend the EU competition law can promote patent pooling as a recommended mechanism for licensing SEPs. To reach this purpose, a brief review of pooling history shows how antitrust policy evolved with regard to pool establishment and operation. Patent pools in the modern era are connected to standardised technologies, and display tendency to product-based technologies rather than standard-based pooling. As a research methodology, a comparative analysis between the US and the EU antitrust laws shows that, although the procedural frameworks in the US contain only soft law, pooling there has undergone a more stable and straightforward treatment thanks to the publicly available Business Review Letters (BRLs) than in the EU which lacks a thorough assessment template. The presented substantive analysis illustrates how the two systems assess pooling's potential anti-competitive effects. Despite several similarities in their evaluation, the US generally shows a slightly more lenient approach toward patent pools. Amongst the differences, the strict EU approach regarding inclusion of non-essential/substitute patents into a pool is criticised. Each paper section is concluded by a takeaway that summarises and discusses the outcomes
The Body as a Toolbox in the Hausa Language
No full textThis paper discusses Hausa proverbs related to body parts and bodily functions. The Hausa people sometimes conceptualize body-related proverbs as tools used to perform certain functions virtually or in reality. Thus, this study attempts to explore some of these proverbs and analyze them within the framework of Linguistic Relativity, nowadays associated with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf. Through the use of a purposive sampling pro-cedure, the data (the proverbs) for the study is generated from a written textbook on Hausa proverbs and from non-participant observation of spontaneous communication among Hausa native speakers in Kano state, Nigeria. From the analysis of the selected proverbs, the study found out that Hausa people have a penchant of conceptualizing body parts as tools. And this further reinforces the belief that although in the Western world, some of the works associated with human body are, to a large extent, done by machines these days, in Africa, human body parts are still used as tools to perform a number of functions, hence their linguistic conceptualization as such.Tsokaci

Garden at the Rear. The Architectural Vernacular of the Secret Garden in Nicosia and the Mediterranean.
No full textFrom Strabo, the Greek geographer who visited Cyprus in the first Century BC, until the Archduke Louis Savator of Austria, a member of the Hapsburg Royal family who visited Cyprus in 1873, recorded travelogues repeatedly refer to the gardens of Nicosia as an identifying element of the city. Either in the form of productive orchards during the Lusignan Era, a compound of exotic plants and animals during the Venetian Rule or an enclosed- mystical domestic space with cisterns and small hammams during the Ottoman Rule, gardens hidden at the rear of the house and aside of the daily domestic routines, have claimed their historical place in the Cypriot capital city as heterotopic islands referring mainly to the stimulation of senses. By looking at historical documents and surviving historical gardens such as that of the Dragoman Kornesios, the article wants to highlight the ‘rear’ placement of this architectural element that also reflects its ‘rear’ function. The garden becomes the part of the domestic space that hosts, protects and cultivates all the informal activities of the domestic life. The purpose of this article is to explore the ‘rear’ function of the domestic gardens of Nicosia in their historical context, as well as investigate its role as an element that still survives today and identifies the relation of architecture with the place, possibly bearing possibilities of resistance to cultural homogenisation
